I was in the same situation as you and I decided to defer - it all worked out okay Go over to the Academic Advisory office (they're based in Education House) and explain your situation; they will let you know your options and what you will need to do. They're unbelievably helpful. Hope you feel better soon.

What Seren said! Academic Advisory Office in Education House. It's the first building on your right as you're walking in the entrance closest to Manor Mills / Dunnes.
